WRESTLERS WHO WON THE ROYAL RUMBLE BUT LOST AT WRESTLEMANIA (TOP 5)

The Royal Rumble and WrestleMania are two of WWE's most important and popular events, with a long history of iconic moments and memorable matches. The Royal Rumble is an annual event that takes place in January, in which 30 wrestlers compete in a wrestling match, and the winner earns the right to challenge for the world title at WrestleMania, which takes place a few months later, in April.

 Winning the Royal Rumble is a huge achievement for any wrestler, but it doesn't always guarantee victory at WrestleMania. Here are some examples of wrestlers who won the Royal Rumble but ended up losing at WrestleMania.

 ROMAN REIGNS (ROYAL RUMBLE 2015) 

Roman Reigns won the Royal Rumble in 2015, last eliminating Rusev. He earned the right to challenge for the world title at WrestleMania 31 against Brock Lesnar and was defeated after a tough battle. However, Reigns would eventually win the world title at WrestleMania 32.

 BATISTA (ROYAL RUMBLE 2014) 

Batista made his triumphant return to WWE in 2014, winning the Royal Rumble and earning himself a shot at the world title at WrestleMania 30. However, negative public reaction towards Batista's victory led to WWE to change their plans and put Daniel Bryan in the title fight. Bryan ended up winning the match, while Batista was eliminated by Randy Orton.

 SHAWN MICHAELS (ROYAL RUMBLE 1995) 

Shawn Michaels won the Royal Rumble in 1995, last eliminating The British Bulldog. He earned a shot at the world title at WrestleMania XI against Diesel, but was ultimately defeated after interference from Pamela Anderson.

 LEX LUGER (ROYAL RUMBLE 1994) 

Lex Luger won the Royal Rumble in 1994, tying Bret Hart after the two eliminated each other. Luger earned a shot at the world title at WrestleMania X against Yokozuna, but ended up losing after interference from Mr. Fuji.

 BIG JOHN STUDD (ROYAL RUMBLE 1989) 

Big John Studd won the second Royal Rumble in history in 1989, last eliminating Ted DiBiase. He earned a shot at the world title at WrestleMania V against Hulk Hogan, but was eventually defeated after an intense match.

 These are just a few examples of wrestlers who won the Royal Rumble but failed to win at WrestleMania. Despite failing to win WWE's biggest event, these wrestlers are still remembered for their Royal Rumble win and for their memorable performances in numerous other matches throughout their careers.
